After Sex

After Sex has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels, and in the US on Philo and Starz Apple TV Channel. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 255 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Marc Blucas sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels and see for yourself.

There is a reason After Sex keeps coming up in conversation. After Sex gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Sex is a background to examine intimacy and vulnerability. Looks at the complexity of modern day relationships told through eight separate couples. Through dialogue and compromising situations, the film takes us from the beginning of a relationship to the aftermath of one, and examines every stage in between seeing humor within the drama, heartache and confusion of it all. Marc Blucas and Jose Pablo Cantillo lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2007. After Sex earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, After Sex respects your intelligence. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Marc Blucas anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
